I'm not directing this at Greg, but the idea Dems "let" Trump rehab himself is just completely divorced from reality. The media allowed Trump to rehab himself b/c they wanted him to win so the gravy train of book deals & cable news "analysts" gigs would start flowing again
Let me tell you something about what is going to happen to Kash Patel when he starts his witch hunt @CIA … like the Austrian government in Ibiza… videos of his phone calls to mistresses, rent boys & crimes, both real and imagined will magically appear. His financial dealings will splash all over European newspapers.
When he calls for criminal activity, not one person will say to him anything other than “Sir, we are constitutionally bound to not follow unlawful orders to operate on US citizens on US soil.”
He will be found in his corner office crying daily by his PSD about how the janitors spit on his floor.
He will have to call DoorDash out of dread his lunch is being spit in … he won’t be wrong.
"It wasn’t the economy," @mtomasky says. "It wasn’t inflation, or anything else. It was how people perceive those things, which points to one overpowering answer" — the right-wing media. https://t.co/8cu4znYI3y
I will not watch @CNN. I will not watch @MSNBC. I will not watch any network news, @ABC, @CBSNews, @NBCNews@FoxNews. Each of these networks held BidenHarris to impossible standards while having no standard at all for trump. None. They’re all responsible for where we are now.
People can analyze, hypothesize, blame Dems till they are blue in the face. None of it matters.
This is the game right here.
Misinformation works. Those that believed misinformation voted Trump. Those that believed the truth voted Harris.
There is NO candidate that can change this.
Republicans have a well oiled propaganda machine that spans all media platforms and we do not.
Period.
Roginsky: The economy that Scott has been rolling his eyes at under Joe Biden, at 12:01 January 20tb, Trump and every Republican out there is going to say is greatest economy on the face of this earth and they will be celebrating how fantastic it is
"Today, the right-wing media sets the news agenda in this country...Even the mighty New York Times follows in its wake, aping the tone they set disturbingly often."

The Democrats’ most loyal voters, as ever, were Black voters and Jewish voters both of whom are under no illusions about the GOP and both of whom know the historic threat of racism and fascism. Other minority communities would do well to learn from them.
@sameastheold @owen_zowen @tribelaw As soon as it was learned that Trump stole classified documents, a grand jury should have been convened and an indictment returned. Trump then should have been arrested, brought before a federal judge, arraigned and held without bail until his trial.

I'll keep saying it. Look at the devastating impact of right-wing media lies and disinformation on our democracy. People live on Earth 3. False perceptions shape our reality.
This is straight up BS… Biden was the most-pro worker President of my life time- saved Union pensions, created millions of good paying jobs and even marched in a picket line and some of MVP’s plans would have fundamentally transformed the quality of life and closed the racial wealth gap for working people across this country. From the child tax credits, to 25k for a down payment for a house to Medicare covering the cost of senior health care in their homes. There are a lot of post election takes and this one ain’t a good one.
California is ready to fight.
I just called an emergency special session to help bolster our legal resources and protect our state against any unlawful actions by the incoming Trump Administration.
Whether it be our fundamental civil rights, reproductive freedom, or climate action -- we refuse to turn back the clock and allow our values and laws to be attacked.
